Well, up until a few years ago I was really into the import tuner scene...and then one day I realized that I was just dreaming, there's no way I can afford to make a 4 banger run anything under 13 seconds. So, I started looking for a 68-72 muscle car. First I ended up getting close to buying a 1972 Dodge Charger...I really liked the style and the guy told me it was the 440. BS...it was a 400 once I checked the engine block #. So, screw that I thought...plus the parts are so expensive and hard to find for mopars. Here's a picture of it.

From there I decided to get a GM, most of the parts are easy to find and much cheaper. I knew I didn't want a che*y...too many off them out there, and I had to be different. So, I was on craigslist one day and there she was, a 1972 olds cutlass S with the 350...Gorgeous car. 2000 OBO. I drove an hour to look at it. Liked what I saw, called him back the next day and offered him $1200. He said no...but called back in an hour to say he would take the deal. That's how I ended up with my cutty.
